Beautiful new browning of the Damascus barrels shows a very attractive pattern. Newer case colors are well done. Bores are bright but but not mirror (satin?) I do not see any obvious pits what so ever.

John Dickson of Edinburgh Round action with original barrels and LONG Length of pull!Category: BoxlocksGauge:12 gauge

GunID: 2582Serial: 4140

Very unusual to find a Dickson round action with a 16" length of pull. Do keep in mind that if you want it shorter that is not a problem, we can make it to fit to you if needed shorter.
Nice original barrels are bright and shiny with only a few exceptions of minor pits which are hard to find unless one looks carefully. A super buy on a shooting Dickson for the tall man or woman! (Save yourself a 7K restock!)

Classic Dickson round action. Great wood and dimensions. Light! These guns just blow me away as they are so elegant and suave and can you believe this was in 1881? I suppose a beauty then is a beauty today. Are we talking about woman or guns? Doesn't really matter! :)

I do like Scottish guns and this gun is no exception. Great balance, engraving, fit, and wood. It is getting very hard to find these guns in their original makers case with tools. A real collectible gun but also a very attractive gun to use proudly in the field. Notice the magnum 2 1/2" proof for 1 1/4 oz! Built @ 1904

German prewar quality gun with no makers name, high grade engraving and stock work!Category: BoxlocksGauge:12 gauge

GunID: 2255Serial: NVN

This German gun has great full coverage engraving, side clips, cocking indicators, and extra grade wood work. Ivory inlays on the forend and drop points are a nice touch. I notice an ever so slight bulge behind the left choke only noticeable to a professional and should not be of concern. With a re-blue this could be removed.

This is a super nice classic Anson actioned Westley from the golden era. This gun features newer steel barrels nitro proofed. I love the classic wood on this gun. Notice we can ship direct, no FFL needed on this great Westley. We can remove the stock extension and have a best quality leather covered pad installed for $300.00. The LOP then would be about 14 3/16".

This is a very beautiful little English boxlock by "The Purdey of the North" as the English like to fondly call this maker. Note the exceptional wood and game scenes! The pointing dogs have exceptional detail with hair and markings. Blow up a side picture and check them out! This fine gun comes in its original makers case with a really cool Pape trade label. Notice the engraving of the hammer gun on the trigger guard. I have never seen this before. Way cool.

Sir Joseph Whitworth steel! In its original makers case! Anson is quite famous as he gave us the boxlock gun we know today. Westley Richards held his invention patents so it is quite rare to see his design with his name on it. Own a wonderful part of double gun history while being able to use it quite effectively in the field.

A classic English gun by William Powell, often nick named the Purdey's of Birmingham! Beautiful wood and comes with makers case! The black pad I have to say should be changed as it is an old ventilated pad with electrical tape over it! We can arrange for this.

Manufrance Ideal guns as some of you may well know have been a special interest of mine for many years. This is a very light 12 with very interesting fine engraving on the rib. The original retractable sling is in good condition. I have shown a picture of the rising third bite (similar to the Rigby) which is one of the many things I love about these guns, that and being an affordable true round trigger plate action!

What a nicely made English double shotgun. I do not use ejectors in the field so seldom if ever need them so having regular extractors is fine by me. Ejector guns throw your shells on the ground and then you have to pick them up as we do not like to litter.
This gun is tight, sound, and a very well made pre-WWII gun. An excellent value.

I have always been a big fan of Guyot shotguns. The quality is top end and they tend to have English styling with extra attention to details and features. This gun features Arcaded Woodward style fences, a hidden third bite in the Purdey style, an articulated front trigger to name a few. Exceptional scroll engraving. The bores are bright but do have some light pitting in places and a little on outside also near the muzzle but we have reflected that in the price making this an elegant gun to shoot in the field for not a ton of money.

Records show this fine shotgun was completed in 1935. This gun is in very nice condition with excellent browning on the barrels and over 60% case colors still remaining. This would make a super first English gun for you if you have never experienced one.

Medium deep pitting in both bores. One significant dent in the right barrel 4 3/4" from the muzzle on the right barrel. Gun is off face and needs rejoining. Chequering is gone in places, would need full re-cut in a restoration. Keep in mind this is a true Prussian round top Sauer and it features the long action table. Good news is that the barrels will probably clean up with a back boring as they have excellent thick walls.

While this gun has seen considerable use it has lots of miles as is for a solid hunting gun. Some minor pitting in both for the most part bright bores. Ejectors are in time and work well. There is some light pitting marks in places on the outside of the barrels. Gun is slightly loose with the forend off.

A solid gun on the positive. There is some light pitting in the forcing cone and under the forend. There is a stock repair in the left front side panal which appears solid. This would make a great shooter for the right guy or a fun restoration project.

This gun is a needy child but the original high grade quality might inspire!
Bores are pitted fairly badly. Stock is a poor restock and has terrible dimensions anyway so could be used as a pattern to modify for a restock. Ejectors work fine, trigger pulls are ok. Some person we would like to incarcerate and castrate with my lawn mower buffed all the detail from the engraving so it would all need re-cutting as well as new screws. It is possible with a re-proof the gun could be used as is for a classic pick-up rack gun.

A solid boxlock and very well made but in need of a rejoin. We can arrange this for $300.00. There are a couple of small dings forward in the right barrel and one removed one in the left.

German gunsmith Johann Nikolaus von Dreyse beginning in 1824, after conducted multiple experiments in 1836 produced the first complete needle fire gun. Here is what may be a one of kind 16g. needle fire shotgun! The lever not only moves the barrels to the right but when closing cams the barrels back into the breech face. This gun won the NRA Foundation trophy at the Celebration of Fine Guns in San Francisco.

A nice little 16 that someone refinished with a modern clear finish. It would look so much better with a London oil finish! I like this little gun. There are three or four very small dings in the barrels which we could remove but fore this price the gun is as is.

Original not having seen any restoration this is an extremely light gun. The chambers are tight for the thin walled brass cases so to shoot conventional shells the chamber would have to be slightly enlarged.
